Tuborg Pilsener (German version)
Brewed by Tuborg Deutschland GmbH
Style: Pilsener
Brunswick, Lower Saxony, Germany
Tuborg, originating in Denmark, is available in more than 70 countries in the world. It is also brewed in Hamburg in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516.
The history of Tuborg begins in 1873 in Hellerup, in the north of Copenhagen. There, a small group of industrialists and financiers joined forces to buy a site near the port. The property bore the name “Thuesborg” in the style of its former owner, but quickly became “Tuborg” in its common usage and laid the foundation for a beer brand that is now internationally known and sold in over 70 countries worldwide.
Tuborg made his first appearance in Germany in the 1960s as an import beer.
The beer is also known as Tuborg Grøn (Green), so must be noted that the name and distributor (German version) has changed but essentially the beer is the same as the Danish version as the recipe remains unchanged.
Review: 33cl green bottle of Tuborg Pilsener (German version): ABV: ; 4.9% vol
The Germany-brewed Tuborg “Premium Quality” Pilsener. Coming in a nice looking green bottle with a rather distinctive logo. The crown representing the fact that the beer was “official court supplier of the Danish court” since 1914, as they state on their website.
For the appearance, initially looks pretty good, all sparkling with a nice head of foam and a lovely golden colour, but boy does it go all flat very quickly with the head not lasting too long.
Has a faint lagery smell, a bit malty and sweet, nothing amazing on the nose.
On taste, I got nice big mouthfuls at the start that were a bit hoppy and I could really feel the grains, not a bad initial taste.
The beer has a nice kick to it. Fruity, sweet, bitter, grainy, malty.
Taste a bit of corn as well. Not a bad tasting beer, slightly a bit too overboard with the hops perhaps, as it is a lager after all?
Not a bad tasting beer. Yeah not bad. Lagery taste with a slight kick. Bit of an aftertaste as well.
I feel the beer stops short of developing into something special, and for this reason I would like to try it again to give a better opinion. I have had it on draught and have come to the same opinion. I really am not sure if I like this beer or not, it always stumps me!
v. who just recently agreed to sell it on to a Hessian financial investment company, CK Corporate Finance (
The beer is one of the most popular beers in Germany but especially popular in East Germany, as Saxony-Anhalt was part of the old Soviet bloc of the GDR.
sharp for me.
Trinidad’s economy used to rely solely on sugar and oil production with little much else. In 1947, the Caribbean Development Company Limited (CDC) was formed by British native, Sir Gerald Wight, then Chairman of Alstons Company Limited (now McEnearney Alstons Limited), who founded the brewery in the hope of trying to boost the economy of Trinidad with something different. In 1950 the CDC launched its award winning Carib Lager beer.
Mine was a 5% abv but I see some places you can get 5.2%
On nose I get a good lagery malty smell, very beery with a lot of citrus. 
United Breweries Group is a major Indian conglomerate company with its core business centered on beverages, aviation (Kingfisher Airlines!), chemicals and fertilizers, and investments in various other sectors. They even have a F1 team, Force India, and also have a football team, Kingfisher East Bengal F.C, in the Indian League, based in Kolkata. 
The company markets beer under the Kingfisher brand, and owns various other brands of alcoholic beverages. It is India’s largest producer of beer. UB also financed a takeover of the spirits business of the rival Shaw-Wallace company, giving it a majority share of India’s spirits business.
Like the logo of the beer, a nice and striking picture of a Kingfisher. 
Taste is ….bit citrusy and very, very hoppy, not smooth anyway.
It was founded in 1878 by Robert Leicht. Leicht was a progressive entrepreneur, open to technical innovations, so much so that the brewery very soon had electric light, an artificial ice cooling machine, a cable car, an atomized bottling plant and much more, and in 1897 was the first German beer to be delivered motorized, with a truck from Gottlieb Daimler. At one stage the company had the largest bottling plant in the world!
The ‘Black Forest Dark beer’ coming in a nice enough dark bottle with a fiip top.
Sweet malty taste. Very smooth, but overall not a whole lot of flavours or tastes though.
Well if you haven’t guessed by now, the company name and logo were inspired by the faithful pet boxer of brewery founder and first director Mr. A. Hauser, on April the 6th, 1960. The new business was to have the start qualities of honesty, loyalty, independence and resilience, traits that he found in his beloved dog, Aramis.
Got it in a can, could not pass by and had to buy it what with the very eye catching logo of a Boxer dog on the can. Logo really is cool, love it, it really stands out. 
A little bit hoppy but not overpowering, nicely balanced and pleasant. 
Hacker was founded way, way back in 1417, and the Pschorr bit comes from when Joseph Pschorr, in the late 18th century, bought the Hacker brewery from his father-in-law, Peter-Paul Hacker. He subsequently founded a separate brewery called Pschorr, who would have guessed, eh? His two sons, Georg Pschorr and Matthias Pschorr Sr., divided his estate by each taking control of one of the two separate breweries. 
In Munich in 1810, the Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria, decided he wanted the whole of Bavaria to join him in celebrating his wedding. He commissioned a collection of the top Munich brewers, including Josef Pschorr, then the brewmaster of the Hacker-Pschorr brewery, to develop special brews to commemorate this special occasion. Overtime this occasion has evolved into the world city of Munich’s Oktoberfest, which is attended by over six million people each year. By Munich law, only the six breweries within the city limits of Munich are invited to serve their beer at Oktoberfest. Hacker-Pschorr is one of the six and today’s event is held on land donated by Josef Pschorr, further highlighting the special relationship this brewery has with the city. 
On taste, got some really lovely mouthfuls, a very good start, very refreshing. Beery and lagery but in a nice way, sweet with some fruits and not too off putting.
The year 1874 was also the year that Kozel was produced. Kozel, which means “goat” in Czech, is well presented in the stunning and very unique logo, which is of a big brown goat enjoying a pint of Kozel, almost with a cunning smile on his face! Apparently the eye catching logo was created by a wandering French painter who was so enamored by the hospitality that he received in Velke Popovice that he designed the special emblem as an expression of his gratitude.
The beer is popular, especially in Eastern Europe, in Russia, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine. Recently it has entered new markets in Scandinavia, the UK, North America, Israel, Greece and Turkey. All this production and export has made Kozel become the best-selling Czech beer brand in the world.
Had a very light beery smell, yeasty with lots of malts, but overall it was quite a faint smell. 
The brewery Fischerstube was opened in 1974 as an act of defiance, a protest against the cartel of the large local breweries and their protectionism racket. Hans Jakob Nidecker was not allowed to sell a particular beer he wanted, a local Warteck beer brewed almost around the corner. Instead he was told to sell Anker beer, a beer outside the city. 
Today, the brewery sells a wide variety of beers and also does a good trade in seasonal and iconic brews. They have taken on some interesting brews with an eye on what is happening in the local area. When the Basel Antiquity Museum had a Tutankhamun exhibition in 2004, this inspired the brewery to bring out The Tut-Anch-Ueli, brewed according to an ancient Egyptian recipe of barley malt, emmer, hops and dates and found ripping heel. They did likewise when Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso had exhibitions in the local art gallery. For Van Gogh they actually had a sunflower flavoured beer in their Van Ueli beer, while for Ueli Beer Pablo they brewed a powerful beer with Absinthe, as “Powerful as a work by Picasso”. And for the annual Basel carnival, they have their own specially themed Bock beer, and they also produce a Christmas beer in the run upto to the end of year festivities. In total, more than 50 such specialty beers have been brewed, each available for a specific occasion or seasonally, there really is no occasion without a Ueli beer at hand!
On pour nice get a frothy head, with a lovely looking light yellow coloured beer, looks good.
